Vintage Rolex Submariner 1680
The vintage Rolex Submariner 1680—yeah, that’s the one with the date and that bold red text early on—is kind of a legend in dive watch circles. Introduced in the late '60s, it marked a new chapter for the Submariner line, blending rugged tool-watch roots with a touch more daily-wear appeal. At Tropical Watch, we’re all about finding those rare, patina-rich examples that tell a story, especially the ones with dials that've aged just right.
